create_field_notes_template: Create a template for refinement field notes

Description

It is good practice to record when refinements were made, what was done, and the reasons behind them. These "field notes" are used by this package to annotate plots created by plot_novelty() and plot_richness(), and they're also requested by peer reviewers as part of the publication process.

This template contains 5 columns (only the first one, interview_num, is currently used by the package, but this is subject to change):

1. interview_num is the upcoming interview number where these refinements will take effect.

2. refinement_type is free text describing the kind of refinement, e.g. "add" or "rephrase" or "remove".

3. refinement is the actual text that has been changed.

4. reason describes the rationale behind the refinement.

5. other is for additional information you may want to include.

Usage

create_field_notes_template(path = stop("A save path must be specified."))
create_fieldnotes_template(path = stop("A save path must be specified."))

Value

Invisibly returns the path to the template (Character). In an interactive session, also opens path in the system's file viewer.
